SAMMAMISH WA, HOMES FOR SALE & REAL ESTATE


OUR SAMMAMISH LIFE

Why listen to us? We lived in Sammamish for 5 years. We've done the morning commute to Bellevue and Seattle, weekends at Lake Sammamish State Park, and the school routine firsthand. When we tell you how a neighborhood lives, not just how it looks in listing photos, it comes from our own experience. Our sons graduated from Eastlake High School. We've been the new family figuring it out, now we get to be the ones helping. When we talk about schools, it's as parents, not just as agents.

SAMMAMISH, WA CLIENT - SELLER REVIEW

"Selling our Sammamish home from 200 miles away could have been a nightmare—but Manesh and Tania Lakhani of REAL Broker LLC made it absolutely effortless. They managed everything for us, from arranging trusted contractors and overseeing work to beautifully staging our home, all without us having to step in once.

 

What truly amazed us was their unmatched communication and dedication. Even while they were on vacation in Europe, they stayed in constant touch, guided us through every decision, and ensured nothing slipped through the cracks. Their responsiveness—sometimes even during their late-night hours overseas—gave us complete peace of mind.

 

Manesh and Tania are true seller's agents: proactive, professional, and genuinely invested in delivering the best outcome for their clients. Thanks to them, what could have been a stressful long-distance sale became a smooth, worry-free experience. We can't recommend Manesh and Tania Lakhani highly enough—they are the kind of realtors who make you feel like their top priority no matter where in the world they are!"

SAMMAMISH, WA CLIENT - SELLER REVIEW

"Manesh and Tania are exceptionally awesome. They have supported us through our journey as we make a decision to put our house in-market, move to a rental place, prep and sell our house. They have been exceptionally helpful and professional through all steps, from fairly investigating the market and finding the right range for a sale price, to preparing the house for the best sale, representing us through the offers and negotiations with buyers.

 

They have been available for any questions, right on top of any open issues to keep us on track and guided us to make the best decisions. They always approached the process with integrity, both protected our property's value and kept us honest with data points in terms of market conditions.

 

It was a very hard decision for us to move after about 10 years of living in our house, both emotionally and financially as the market was unpredictable. With their guidance and support through the process we have completed it very well. We are glad that we have started this journey and ended up in a better place than initially estimated.

 

We could not have done this without them. We really appreciate all the professionalism and support. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy and professional agents that puts integrity on top of everything."

SAMMAMISH, WA CLIENT - BUYER REVIEW

"Buying our first home in the US was a breeze thanks to Manesh and Tania. They were with us for almost a year and patiently helped us find the perfect home for us. They were very knowledgeable about the area, the construction, and the quality of the houses. They also had great negotiation skills and ensured that we got the best deal possible. They shared their expertise and advice on what to look for in a home and how to navigate the purchase process. They paid attention to every detail during the closing process and made sure that everything went smoothly.

 

They were always available and dependable, and we felt like they genuinely cared about us. They were not just our agents, but our friends. We highly recommend Manesh and Tania to anyone looking for a home in Seattle. They are awesome people and professionals.

 

We are so grateful to Manesh and Tania for helping us buy our first home in the US."
